I started shopping at Dick Blick's back in Omaha. Loved it. Was happy to find it here in St…read more Louis. I'm sure there are other art stores, but I don't need to look around. Blick's has pro-level gear for any artist. The aisles are well marked, and each section is stocked with most major brands. Friendly-not-pushy staff know a thing or two. Good gear costs money, so don't be shocked by the prices--but you can do some damage on a patient budget. Hanley is busy, so keep your eyes open and slowwww into the petite parking lot.

It's awesome to have someone so talented in their craft right here in Crystal city and he's not the only one there are so many shops and vendors in this town that are amazing at what they do and I love a chance to support them.

We wanted to support a local framing studio instead of one of the big corporate stores, even if it…read moreis a little pricier than those bulk stores. We are so glad we went here. The attention to detail and care they gave when describing the process and helping us choose our frame/mat was exceptional. They had so many frames to choose from, so that expertise was well appreciated. We dropped off our print just before Easter and were told there was a months-long backlog, but we could expect the print back in 4 months or so. It ended up taking 6 months to complete. We were out of town when they finally finished, so they kindly hung onto our work for another month before went to pay and pick up. While the project took longer than expected, we were appreciative of the kindness shown by the staff member who helped us and we would definitely return to have other things framed for our home.

FOR PRAIRE GARDENS FRAMING inside JEFFREY ALANS: Acquired a really lovely print but the frame was…read morefalling apart and the mat was discolored, and had no idea where to get it redone. This was the place--they really know their stuff-- offered suggestions for mat color, whether we wanted it 'weighted' (just slightly more border on the bottom so the print sits), and then walked us through various frame options. Both listened to us and made good suggestions. We even discussed whether to splurge on less-reflective glass (we did for one print, not the other given where they live on the wall). They did a beautiful job. This is the only place I would go--the front store full of fake flowers isn't our thing (though they do have live plants and nice pots), but the framing shop is independent, been around a long time, and really know what they are doing.
